I used to have perfect teeth up to one or two years ago, and I never
had any problems with chewing tin foil (Hey, I chew a lot of things..
Urmm.. forget I said that.). Then I got two fillings, and when pretty

fillings, I get a sensation of a current running along the nerve
endings there. Which isn't strange, since that's what it is.
